Disney Planning Part 2- Days 61-60

-
Why 61 days?
Because at midnight, 60 days, out, you can log on to the MyDisneyExperience App and reserve your Fastpass selections. You get 3.

I had things I wanted, but really, the only reason to log on 60 days out is if you wanted to see Anna and Elsa. And I KNOW my soon-to-be 4 year old would. And I want to spoil her. So there you have it.

There are a lot of good blogs out there with fast pass help. For me, I used these:

Best general Fastpass advice is OF COURSE from the WDW Prep School.

For the hard ones I wanted to get, and save my time at the witching hour, I checked out DIBs Fastpass Calculator, so that I didn't waste time on days they were already booked up.

My Strategy:
1. Book all my fastpasses in the morning, because we would be taking a mid-day break each day. (Sleep or not, naptime/quiet time is just going to happen so we all stay happy)
  • This also allows for us to book 1 afternoon fast pass at a time, but if we change parks, we aren't held to a fast pass time.  I only have one exception to this. We KNEW we would stay in Hollywood Studios for the entire day, as we booked a lunch Fantasmic package, and therefore had FP tickets for the Fantasmic shows. We'd be back.
2. Check out which rides generally don't need Fastpasses, and not waste our time. For this, I love Kenny the Pirates blog.

3. Say a little prayer.

Exactly at midnight, it opened up! This is what we ended up getting:

Wagon Revamp

So I find myself truly BLESSED to have found an old, beaten up radio flyer wagon at a garage sale a few weeks back. Rusted and sad, the owner sold it to me for $5. I tried not to skip all the way home. But like I said, it was sad- rusty, chipped paint, etc. But all the hardware still looked awesome, so I had hope. Tools Wire Sander (0.96) Spray paint primer- $3 Spray paint color- $3 Vinyl stickers $3 Total revamp costs? 9.96  (I already had some spray paint "waterproofer," so that was free... it would cost about $3 though) First, I sanded down all the rusty parts, which were mostly on the inside, with a wire sander thingy I found at Home Depot. Wish I knew the name, but alas. Its looks like a sponge on one side, and is sandy on the other. Most of the screws were too rusted over, so I had to tape a lot. My husband was able to get the two side re-inforcements un-screwed, so that helped with a cleaner paint. Then, I power-sprayed it with my waterhose outside on the

Lanyard Tutorial

So after all my sewing adventures, I have quite a bit of scrap material. What better use than to make into lanyards for work! Materials needed: Long bits of scrap material swivel hooks Cost: 1.40 per hook, scrap material= $1.40!!!! Time: 20 Minutes Getting started Cut strips to the following dimensions (1 strip = 1 lanyard) = 2" X 40" You can alter the length before you sew together if you so desire!  If you'd like wider lanyards than I made, you could always go 3" X 40". Next, you get to iron!!!   Left- unironed, right, ironed in half Fold your strip in half and iron. When you've ironed in half, the unfurl your strip a little bit and iron one side into the center fold... Left- ironing into the fold, right- ironed only in half  Then do the other side!   Ironing strips into fold  NOW you fold along the fold again, and Iron again! Now you'll basically have a strip of fabric with no raw edges about a quarter of the

 Happy Halloween!!!! So, after finding my little ones' wonderful, barely worn Tigger costume for $5 at a thrift sale, the rest of our family costumes had to match! But since we were not about to rake out the dough for adult Pooh and Eeyore costumes, it was time to figure out how to make our own. So off we go! Let's start with Eeyore... Materials: 4 pieces of felt- 2 blue, 2 purple/pink- $3 Fake fur stip- $1 Sweatshirt- $12 (Amazon, after thought this would have been cheaper from Walmart, but eh!) Fabric glue (had some lying around house)- probably $3 if you don't. Interfacing- need fat quarters worth- $1 Total =$17 Felt for ears and tale First, trace ears on felt THEN, put ear over the pink, trace again! Do it again (to make 2 ears) Then, trace and iron on the interfacing to the blue part of the ear to make the ears less flappy.  Sew ears together. REMEMBER- you want to see the stitches for the Eeyore costume Next,
